Abstract

Malignant or nonmalignant lymphoproliferative disorders together with repeated ear, nose, and throat infections should strongly motivate immunologic investigations. Indeed, we report a 7-year-old patient with a history of persistent abdominal symptoms along with recurrent ear, nose, and throat infections, who presented with intra-abdominal masses highly suggestive of a diagnostic of lymphoma, and who was diagnosed with activated-PI3K-delta syndrome, a recently described primary immunodeficiency prone to lymphoproliferation.
